- Speaking of McKegg: NHL.com listed McKegg the 10th-best prospect in the Maple Leafs' system in a recent story. "We like his vision and hands," Dave Poulin, the NHL club's vice president of hockey operations, told nhl.com. "His skating has improved vastly over the last couple of years, but his hands and hockey sense were always there. ... What he did was round out his defensive game for the Marlies and that earned him more playing time."
